Roles and EquipmentThough they strictly act and work alongside the general Rebel Troopers, and hold a far fancier name than then, they act very much the same as to their regular rifleman accompaniment. The difference in uniform comes alongside the waist pouches and chest harness for carrying grenades. The Alliance Grenadiers offer the support via explosions, getting their hands on more ranged equipment. They have access to larger quantities of thermal detonators, smoke grenades, impact grenades and, though it is a rare find, thermal imploders. Elite members of this classification, as well as certain newer recruits, can sometimes be fitted with a Clone-War Era
MGL-1 explosive ordnance launcher, either in a configuration for Ion rounds against vehicles, or standard thermal detonation rounds for infantry. To make them useful in situations, they are only ever fitted with the standard A280 Rebel Blaster Rifle.
